South of Midnight<\/em><\/a> is heading to PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 in Spring 2026, developer Compulsion Games announced<\/a> on X<\/a>. The third-person action-adventure game launched as an Xbox and PC exclusive, but like plenty of Microsoft’s other first-party games, it’s heading to competitors’ consoles.<\/p>\n Mixing platforming with magic-infused combat in a unique setting inspired by the folklore of the South, Compulsion Games’ South of Midnight <\/em>\u00a0was generally well-receive<\/a>d when it was released in April 2025. The game likely reached sizable audience by launching on Game Pass and PC, but coming to PlayStation and Switch will open it up to an even bigger audience.<\/p>\n As Microsoft reworks its Xbox brand to focus more on software<\/a> than hardware, releasing its exclusives on other platforms has become a key part of its ongoing strategy. It tested the water with games like Pentiment<\/em><\/a>, Hi-Fi Rush<\/em> and Sea of Thieves<\/em><\/a> in 2024, and now everything from Indiana Jones and the Great Circle<\/em><\/a> and Halo<\/em><\/a> are making the jump.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
